Please note that spontaneous applications are not accepted. All CCs are designated by the initiative of a WHO Department after successful completion of several years of collaboration with WHO in carrying out jointly planned activities. This means that WHO only considers for designation institutions with a long and solid history of contribution to WHO programme activities.
